Digambara: The Skyclad Path

I'm really excited about this new collaboration between two of my good friends and colleagues, LeVar Carter (www.siddhilifedesigns.com) and Nathan Larimer (www.nathanlarimer.com). The book, titled Digambara (which is Sanskrit for 'clad only in the quarters of the heavens') will marry fine art photography with visual demonstrations of a nude yoga practice, taking place in stunning locations around the country. LeVar says that "the practice will take us through the koshas, which are like layers of your being, radiating out from the body to progressively more subtle forms. You could also think of the five koshas in relationship to the five elements: earth, water, fire, air and ether."

When I get back stateside, I hope to join in on the collaboration with some nude yoga / cityscape shots of LeVar, so stay tuned!
